From Joyce Vance's Substack https://joycevance.substack.com/p/the-supreme-cour...

Let’s be clear. The United States Constitution does not permit the deportation of American citizens for committing a crime. That’s essentially what Trump talked about today, telling El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele, whom he welcomed into the Oval Office, that Bukele would need to build more of his terror prisons to house “homegrowns”—American citizens. That is not legal. But what’s legal doesn’t seem to matter to the Trump administration. The question is whether anything or anyone can still force him to follow the law.

I hadn't fully appreciated this until now.

Hmm, but is it deportation if American citizens are sent to a prison built on a US military installation in El Salvador? From Seth Abramson:

...the 5 new CECOTs (200,000 capacity) Trump will pay for and have Bukele build will be on territory in El Salvador considered a US military installation and US soil—like Guantanamo Bay.
